FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

the list shows how deep you are
how admirable and the resulting envy could
be inevitable
sometimes i wonder if that deep ocean
belongs to you and that what i have is only the
shallow part of the shore where i
content myself with foams and sand
and passing wind

i am not yet familiar with the path of the shell
the labyrinths of your chosen words
but i am not that dumb
challenged i shall soon learn all these tricks
but not with a dream to be like you or anybody else
i am handsome in my own way
and in some ways untold
you are ugly.
